With the race a mere 5 weeks out, RTB training slogs on. The squad has experienced no shortage of injuries and we’re hopeful everyone will make the start in reasonably decent shape. I know I have my fair share of morning limps and griping muscles of late, but I’m also totally stoked for this new and wild experience. I mean, what’s not to love about a 24hr straight, rain or shine road race over hill & dale complete with vans full of sweaty, stinkin’ friends plotting great deeds and the inevitable vanquishing of suds?

Anyway, it’s a little late in the game, but I came upon what looks to be an excellent training program tailored for a similar race at roughly the same time in Colorado.

I’m pleased to report that, according to this at least, I’m largely on-point as far as my own training goes. Though I’ve been notably lazy about incorporating 2-a-days so far. Ho-hum; maybe tomorrow.

Stay tuned for more RTB info, training updates and saber rattling from our intrepid event captain: The New Guy (TNG)
